Benefits
 
Semolina's nutritional value is higher compared to regular bread or regular rice. And don't forget that little gourmets need carbohydrate for energy. All of us but especially babies and children need  high quality carbohydrate .  


So if you are feeding your baby whole grains or high quality grains   instead of refined grains you don't need to keep on saying “Don't fill up yourself with bread, eat your meatball’. Because grains are as valuable as protein sources. Mother chefs fail to notice this most of the time.  
 
Semolina is same as pasta. Pasta is made by adding water and some enriching additives to semolina made of durum wheat and shaping and drying the dough.
